Groups of Fiorentina and Roma fans met on the motorway near Bologna and started a violent clash on the emergency lane of the A1 in Casalecchio di Reno , just outside the Emilian capital.

The collision reportedly began at the nearby Cantagallo service station. A few minutes later, several vans and cars stopped on the highway, sparking a violent collision just steps away from the speeding cars . The first reports came from passing motorists, and the Bologna police arrived on the scene to identify those responsible.
The clash lasted only a few minutes, after which the ultras immediately left, before the police arrived . Surveillance footage is being examined. Initial investigations have revealed that the clash involved only Roma and Fiorentina fans, with no involvement from Bologna groups.
